So many pundits are still very bullish on the Tigers and I just don't understand it.

These same pundits will be saying the Blues are strong Premiership contenders when the Blues have a big win tonight.  God help us.

I also don't get it.

The Tigers will need a time machine for Dusty, Reiwoldt and Cotchin if they are to win the flag.

That time machine will need seats for Grimes, Lynch, Picket and maybe a few others...

They want to copy Geelong and rest their ageing players but they won't get enough early wins to do that in the back half of the season.

Nor do they have the luxury of having a home ground advantage so good they can bank 10 wins a season without breaking a sweat.

I might be wrong, but I can't see where enough improvement will come from to win a flag.

Tigers' backline will be stretched with Balta and Miller vs McKay and Curnow.  Maybe they hope Grimes or Vlastuin can go with Curnow.

Due to forward lien injuries Saints will go all out defence.  Freo won many games last year because of their stingy defence rather than high scoring.

This will be a battle of attrition of the defences!

Saints could cause an upset

Jack S. in his 100th. His Nona was there for her husband’s 100th and her son’s 100th and she’s there now. 💕

First 10 minutes of madness followed by really average footy. Lots of pressure, dropped marks. But great to have footy back.

    DARK NIGHT by George On The Outer

    A pleasant, balmy Brisbane evening with perfect conditions for football turned into a bleak, dark night in more ways than one for the Demons on Friday night at the Gabba. Coming up against a Lions outfit which had been truly cut to shreds by Port Adelaide the previous week, with the Demons having accounted for the Dogs emphatically, it was reasonable for the droves of Melbourne supporters to expect to witness more pain being inflicted as payback for their loss to the same team in the previo

    DEES UNLEASHED by George On The Outer

    On a balmy Saturday night in March, the Demons of 2023 were unleashed and, in a show of strength, they sent the Bulldogs packing to their kennel to lick their wounds after their resounding 50-point opening round victory.   Things looked ominous early for the Demons with Bayley Fritsch, Steven May, Jack Viney and Christian Salem from their best 23 unavailable, compounded by the threat of facing up to a four man tall forward line of Darcy, Lobb, Ugle-Hagan and Naughton.     However
